step 1: murica

play as the funny fat people

step 2: organize the mess that is your starting navy

like bruh why are there so many fleets?

this is much better 1 fleet of destroyers and light cruisers for scouting, another made of capital ships for strike duty, and the soobs

step 3: build a ton of ships

step 4: war time baby

step 5: utterly obliterate the japanese navy

if you do it right the japanese ships should start to look like this

(also make sure your subs are convoy raiding the ♥♥♥♥ out of the japanese home isles you'll need this later on)

step 6: take some islands

these ones you should focus on especially

step 7: home isle time

at this point if you used your subs well there should be no resistance on the home isles

step 8: re-invade japan because the ai left fascist japan alive for no reason in the peace deal

seriously paradox fix this, this wasn't an issue before bba

step 9: japan should be no more

you did it! japan is no more. MacArthur would be proud.

(also I might make a guide on how to destroy the germans idk yet)

step 10 (optional): japan is still alive

at some point along the way you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and can't win against the japanese. don't worry! you can just use the MacArthur Special™ (aka nuking them into the ground)

step 11 (optional): not enough big gun ships!

if for some reason you don't have enough capital ships to fight japan, i recommend the 10 dockyards mod! it allows you to assign 10 dockyards to capital ships so they build slightly faster

(as you saw before)
